The IESG has approved the following document: - 'LISP Network Element Deployment Considerations' (draft-ietf-lisp-deployment-12.txt) as Experimental RFC This document is the product of the Locator/ID Separation Protocol Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Brian Haberman and Ted Lemon. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-lisp-deployment/ Technical Summary: LISP is a protocol which can be used for different purposes. This draft describes how to deploy its associated network elements, in order to identify possible deployment scenarios and the additional requirements they may impose on the protocol specification and other protocols. This document is intended as a guide for the operational community for LISP deployments in their networks and is expected to evolve as LISP deployment progresses, and the described scenarios are better understood or new scenarios are discovered. Working Group Summary: There was no controversy nor any contentious issues during the WG process. The consensus was not rough and the draft came out as the result of a collective effort. Document Quality: There are multiple implementations of the protocol that am aware of. To my knowledge, at least one vendor has implemented the specification. The draft has received a fair amount of reviews and discussions without triggering any major change(s) in the document nor substantive issue(s).
